Simple to use, not expensiveThis is a simple piece of kit to use, maybe not the best but then the price reflects this. I've found it to be relible, solidly built. By allowing you to keep your gears running true, it also saves you money by preventing premature component wear. As with all Brand X products it also provides cracking value for money (VFM).What's not to like? Oh, it works on all wheel types, MTB & Road.

Good but not perfectAs said in other reviews this does have a bit of play in it but it gets you 95% there and as such for the price I think it's very worthwhile.

Got the job done at a decent priceWhen servicing my bike, I noticed that I had to wind the rear mech lower limit screw all the way in to prevent the cage clipping the spokes. This wasn't the case when I last checked the mech adjustment, so I suspected I'd bonked the hanger. I wanted the cheapest hanger alignment tool I could find, and this was it. Indeed the hanger was bent, and this tool got it straightened out very easily. Shifting is now perfect again. As others mention, there is a small amount of play even when the tool is completely screwed on to the hanger, but this wasn't a problem for me: it was perfectly adequate for my needs, although it might not be for yours if you have a more extreme form of OCD than I do. (I didn't feel the need to try the tape fix that others mention.)
